NEW EFFORT TO COMBAT DISINFORMATION

Democrats are launching a Spanish-language hub to combat disinformation as the party seeks to mobilize Latino support.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), the fundraising arm for House Democrats, announced the launch of “Juntos Together” on Thursday.

DCCC Executive Director Tim Persico said in a statement that the hub will give voters “never-before-seen access to digital resources, and prioritize Spanish-speaking voters by offering critical tools to help them counter disinformation directed at their communities, and promote Democratic accomplishments.”

The move comes ahead of the 2022 midterm elections, in which the Democrats are trying to hold on to their narrow House majority.

The hub, which comes in English and Spanish, offers colorful GIFs and other social media “shareables” that voters can post to social media sites like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
